Fulham secured a historic 2-1 win over Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, marking their first Premier League victory at the ground and their first away league win against the Blues in 45 years.
Chelsea dominated early possession, but Fulham posed the bigger threats, particularly through Antonee Robinson’s energetic runs down the flank. Robinson burst forward at every opportunity, trying to overwhelm Chelsea’s backline.
Against the run of play, Chelsea took the lead after 15 minutes when Cole Palmer scored a dazzling opener. Palmer weaved past several defenders, showcasing his impressive dribbling skills, before finding the bottom corner with precision.
Fulham responded strongly, with Raul Jimenez dragging a shot wide and Calvin Bassey drawing a smart save from Robert Sanchez.
Chelsea’s Marc Cucurella, returning from suspension, had a glorious chance to double the lead but directed his diving header straight at Bernd Leno.
In the second half, Leno produced a sensational save to deny Enzo Fernandez’s long-range strike. Seconds later, Chelsea thought they had scored again when Levi Colwill headed home, but the offside flag correctly intervened, sparing Fulham.
Fulham continued to push for an equalizer, with Alex Iwobi driving a shot agonizingly wide and a series of crosses causing chaos in the Chelsea box. Sanchez made a crucial save to deny Robinson from close range, keeping Chelsea’s lead intact.
With nine minutes remaining, Fulham’s pressure finally paid off. Harry Wilson drifted in at the back post and nodded home Timothy Castagne’s pass, sparking wild celebrations among the Fulham players and fans.
Chelsea pushed for a winner, but Fulham sealed the win in the fifth minute of stoppage time. Rodrigo Muniz slotted past Sanchez, securing a famous victory for the visitors and sending the Fulham contingent into raptures.
